#OccupyHarrisburg Meets.

The Central Pennsylvania Wing ... ... of the increasingly vocal "Occupy" movement gathered at a bookshop in the city's Midtown neighborhood this afternoon, there to moot potential locations for an encampment and protests that organizers hope to start as soon as next weekend.

The group of about 150 held their second session at The Midtown Scholar, a bookstore and coffeehouse that's become the focal point of largely progressive-minded gatherings. The store's owner, Eric Papenfuse, is a onetime Democratic candidate for Dauphin County Council and -- full disclosure -- a fellow parent at Little Miss Capitol Ideas' school.

Organizers said this afternoon that they're following the goals and aims of the Occupy Wall Street movement. That includes, according to a flyer being handed out this afternoon, an effort to "change the corrupt practice that cripple our economy, weaken our schools, leave thousands joblesss, suck and hungry. We are the 99 percent. Strength through unity and clear goals."

Potential sites considered for these protests were briefly discussed and included Capitol Park, Soldiers Grove, the Governor's Mansion and Riverfront Park along Front Street in Harrisburg. Organizers said they were looking for a place where they wouldn't be booted out by the local gendarmerie. So that could be a tall order.

They also discussed occupying vacant lots in the city's Midtown neighborhood, though that would presumably require the permission of the landowner -- particularly since organizers said they wanted to erect tents, set up generators and do other stuff associated with long-term occupation. One suspects the Capitol Police might move to enthusiastically nip that kind of sleepover in the bud.

We're curious to see how this nascent movement translates in the confines of the Capital City. So stay tuned for further details
